president of the united states. president obama gave us an idea on tuesday. >>> in a post presidency, the thing that i this i i would enjoy most is spending time working with kids. i love teaching. i miss teaching and i'm not sure i will necessarily be in a classroom but the idea of being able to go around in various cities and helping to create mentorships and apprenticeships and giving young people the sense of possibility. >> that sense of opportunity and possibility unfortunately is not equally available to all of our nation's students. 58 years since separate but equal was struck down, our classrooms are still distressingly separate. 2 out of every 5 african-american or hispanic students attend intensely segregated schools. schools more segregated today than they were 40 years ago. they are not just segregated by race but by class. poor students face very different school days than their middle class and wealthy peers. the result, persistent achievement gap. here with me to discuss that is professor pay tedro.
